Classroom News - Dec. 4

Thanks to those parents who attended the family noon hour picnic today. It means a lot to the staff and students here at M.C. Knoll to see so many families show their support.

PLEASE ask your son/daughter about the 'powerful' speaker the grade 7 students witnessed today at Yorkdale. The topic was about drugs and alcohol...

Just a reminder: tomorrow (Friday, Dec. 5), our 6/7M class will have the opportunity to enjoy some physics demo's put on by students from YRHS.

Also, I will not be at school tomorrow (Friday, Dec. 5). Have a wonderful day tomorrow and into the weekend!!!
